Seriously, did anyone else think that Manfred was a vampire the first time they saw him?Night10194 posted:Do you think, as well as teaching him that only the verdict matters and the system is obviously blindly correct, Von Karma also led Edgeworth down the dark path of cravats? He, in fact, did introduce him to cravats.

EponymousMrYar posted:Ah yes, Von Karma. He knows there's weaknesses in his witness' testimony but rather than even attempt to play along with proper procedure he attempts to bulldoze through everything to get his verdict. Edgeworth might have been described as ruthless but he's nothing compared to Von Karma (as he warned.) Yeah, when Phoenix is talking about Edgeworth initially, he says things like "I hear he doesn't bleed, feel emotions, or pain." or something along those lines. Von Karma is actually embodying those traits.

Being a prosecutor is basically easy mode in Japanifornia given that they basically control the police, the evidence, the judges, etc.

I think the most amusing part of all of this is that Lotta has lied so much that she's quite clearly not even a trustworthy witness anymore. Why are we listening to anything she has to say?

I replayed the original trilogy recently, and I was absolutely stumped on what to do when I got to Day 1 of the trial, because I wanted to bring up the number of gunshots and the other pictures, but no, we have to discredit Lotta as some kind of Gourdy hunter first.

Obviously the killer was Gourdy and the third day of the trial will be Phoenix cross-examining a lake monster.

Cerebral Bore posted:Hell, at least during the last few times all Phoenix had was suspicions that Redd White or Dee Vasques were involved in the case somehow. This one takes the cake due to literally having decisive evidence in his pocket that the person he's confroting had instigated murder. Not to mention that this guy is the prosecution he's going up against in court tomorrow. Night10194 posted:So Von Karma led Edgeworth down the path of dark prosecution and cravats and is now going to have him executed for murder entirely to spite a guy who is already dead in order to avenge loving up his time-table a little. Von Karma is a little sensitive about his perfect record. Just a little.

I just made a joke asking if that was real life DL-6 and they posted an image of Polly from the anime. Mraagvpeine posted:Was the anime faithful in adapting this part? The anime did the parrot cross-examination yes. The taser scene was dropped in favor of a very stupid scene where they get Larry to disguise himself as Edgeworth while the real deal snuck out of the courthouse and helped Maya break into von Karma's office.

NikkolasKing posted:First off, I think it's important to point out that Von Karma did not hunt down Gregory Edgeworth with the intent to murder him. Von Karma comes off like an evil SOB and maybe he is but in this instance, can he be absolutely faulted? He was shot. He was obviously deleriouswith pain and anger and confusion. He did not have some methodical revenge plan. Yeah, I couldn't help but notice that as well. He's definitely a horrible person, but I don't think he would've committed murder he hadn't basically been gift-wrapped the chance. Green Intern posted:Von Karma: "Yes, I shot him" Well yeah.

Dirk the Average posted:Von Karma (and all other real culprits) still has the right to his own trial. This trial is for Edgeworth. Typically, the game doesn't cover the secondary trials of the real culprits. I was under the impression they meant whether von Karma was going to be sent to the detention center or not. But yeah, like Dirk says, the secondary trials are usually only alluded to.

Mzbundifund posted:Yeah, this. They do acknowledge them sometimes though. In a couple of the games there's a few lines about how somebody is offscreen somewhere heading up the prosecution against the criminals you uncover during your defense trials. I like to imagine that this is how Winston Payne makes his career as a prosecutor.

Keltena posted:From what I've seen, basically just adjusting a few lines that explicitly rule out the possibility of Phoenix taking any cases between 1-4 and 2-1 to be more vague. It's still a bit of a stretch to fit 1-5 into the plot if you think about it, imo, but the writers did the best they could to make it fit, and it's a great case in its own right, especially considering how ambitious it is. You mean 2-2. It takes place before 2-1.
